Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, reducing the emission of gaseous pollutants, particularly CO2, from combustion and gasification processes is an important issue in countries of the European Union. The current Special Issue of the journal Energies deals with various methods and reduction technologies targeting pollutant emissions, especially CO2, SO2, NOX, and particulate matter, that associate with different fuel combustion and gasification processes. Moreover, the problem of mercury and trace elements is also taken into account. Although this Special Issue is primarily focused on conventional hydrocarbon fuels, it is open to the submission of research focused on biofuels and other alternative fuels as well.
To keep track of the topical achievements made in this field, this Special Issue, entitled “Emissions of Gaseous Pollutants and Fine Particles from Combustion and Gasification Processes” (IF: 3.2), covers original research and reviews related to the title topic, including, but not limited to, fundamental research and reviews, pilot plant investigations, operational experiences, new concepts, computer modelling and simulations, as well as techno-economic assessments.
We kindly invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue. We look forward to receiving original research and reviews.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Title: Emission of gaseous pollutants during combustion and co-combustion of thermally treated municipal solid waste

Abstract: This study shows the results of the combustion of raw and torrefied municipal solid waste. The pellets made of waste were torrefied using a rotary kiln reactor. The average solid yield was 551 g/h. The ratio of solid product mass to the raw material mass (i.e. percentage solid yield, wt%) was 78%. The combustion of the waste/coal mixtures and the torrefied waste was stable, without major problems. The unstable combustion was observed during the combustion of single waste. It was probably caused by the blocking of the portion of raw pellets in the screw feeder. Significantly lower emission of SO2 (i.e. 43–114 mg/m3 STP ref. to 6 v.% O2) was observed during combustion of single combustion of torrefied and raw waste. Significantly higher emissions of CO and H-C were observed during the combustion of single raw and torrefied waste. This higher emission should be reduced by the optimization of air distribution.
